(CNN)New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday he's "truly sorry" and that some of his previous workplace comments were "misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation" as he faces allegations of sexual harassment.

"I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that," Cuomo said in a statement. He maintained that he never touched anyone inappropriately or propositioned anyone.

The statement came hours after Cuomo changed course earlier Sunday and asked the New York attorney general and the chief judge of the state court of appeals to jointly select an independent attorney to conduct "a thorough review" of sexual harassment claims against him.

It’s rather laughable the so many think Cuomo will somehow be pushed out of office. Not going to happen.

> He’s blaming the victim! <

That’s exactly what Cuomo is doing. Those stupid women “misinterpreted” his friendly behavior!

At the very least, any Presidential aspirations Cuomo had ARE OVER.

So, killing off thousands of old folks is okay—but being a cad to a women is absolutely verboten!

Fredo, who “accidentally” walked into his wife’s yoga class buck naked? I’m sure he’s a good one to ask for advice.

Pretty lame excuse he (and his attorneys) came up with. Yawn.

>>>Expect him to resign next, less than a month.<<<

I seriously doubt that. Democrats NEVER resign over sexual harassment claims. It’s a resume-enhancer, dontcha know.

Don’t you love the way Leftists “apologize” for things, and the Left simply says “Oh. Ok.”

Not even a apology. Along the lines of “I’m sorry I made you feel angry”, not sorry about saying or doing something to make people angry.

And the Left says “Oh. Ok.”

From NPR:

On an October 2017 flight home from an event, Boylan says Cuomo suggested, in front of other staff members, that they play strip poker.

At the end of a one-on-one meeting about infrastructure projects, Cuomo "stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips," Boylan alleges. "I was in shock, but I kept walking."

Yeah, sounds "misinterpreted" to me, too...

“He's done. Expect him to resign next, less than a month.”

I doubt it.

That Democrat Govnor down in Virginia is still on the payroll even though he was photographed in Klan regalia.

There are not enough conservatives in New York to get rid of Cuomo; and the remaining New Yorkers can be easily flimflammed. Done many, many times.

I can only remember one. Al Franken.

But, that was at the height of the me,too hysteria. Dem women senators pushed him out.

Certainly they never did squat about Ted Kennedy and the like.

Even now some libs are saying Franken shouldn’t have been forced out.

The non-apology apology.

Just like the bend and snap - works every time.
